Dixie Gun And Knife Show Shooting: 2 Hurt In Accidental Incident In North Carolina, Officials Say

Dixie Gun And Knife Show Shooting: 2 Hurt In Accidental Incident In North Carolina, Officials Say

This moron has it loaded in the case AND he was going to do a private sale with it. I wonder what the LEO thought of all this.

Officials say two people were accidentally shot and wounded at a gun show at the North Carolina state fairgrounds.

It happened Saturday at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show, a quarterly event that usually draws thousands of people to the fairgrounds in Raleigh.

The fairground is operated by the state agriculture department. Agency spokesman Brian Long says a 12-gauge shotgun discharged while its owner unzipped its case for a law enforcement officer to check it at a security entrance.

Emergency crews responded to the scene, and two people were loaded into ambulances.

Long says the shotgun's owner brought the weapon to the show to find a private buyer.

Comment

A bit OT but booth sellers at gunshows have been vigilent also. It seems that people asking to look at a particular gun pop a round in the chamber while they are not being watched. They walk away. Most times it is discovered by either the salesman clearing the weapon prior to handing it over or a safety minded customer checking it prior to handling. Some sick **bleep** out there.

The show shut down early Saturday. /quote

Good Grief! There's dumb, there's stupid and there's stuff like this.

No wonder non-gun-owners are afraid of people who own guns. Maybe they aren't all out to kill people intentionally, but you have to wonder about those who are this careless.
